The Portuguese version of Man Plus. Many thanks to Luis for sending this in!
Published 1976 (maybe)

Actually, that cover IS a classical work of art!I would touch it without protective gloves.I've seen worse. Far, far, worse.Interesting, but I would still read it in public.Middlng: Neither awful nor awfully goodWould not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just awful...That belongs in a gold-lame picture frame!Gah... my eyes are burning! Feels so good!Good Show Sir! (Average: 8.56 out of 10)

    Man Plus: where Larry Grayson meets C3-PO.

    The huge purple glowing things aren’t freaky enough: they’re supposed to be huge, glowing, purple, insectoid, faceted things.

    The rest of the picture looks like, well, like the artist never bothered to read the description of the person (s)he was depicting. But what’s new there?

    The campy pose is quite apt though really it should be more moping than campy.

    He’s quite a jaunty cyborg for one with no clothes, no skin on his left arm and loofahs where his eyes ought to be!

    I shrink under the scrutiny of his exfoliating gaze!

    What good is having a muscley plastic exterior if you go and leave it on the dashboard of somebody’s car on a hot day?

    Is that a giant ham sandwich in the background?

    I think it’s supposed to be a mushroom cloud. A really badly painted one. I want to say the the threat of nuclear war was a driving factor in the book’s plot, but I haven’t read it since I was a kid.

    Or maybe it’s an even worse representation of Mars itself rising in the background, back behind the Martian landscape and Martian cyborg of the foreground… which would make about as much sense as anything else about this cover does.

    Mars is REALLY close to Jupiter in the future.

    With the excess of orange and the weird font I thought this read “Homen Mars”. Is that a mushroom cloud in the background? Is this actually The Martian Chronicles” – sorry, As crônicas marcianas?
